NOT TO BE!

I guess that I never knew
That, loneliness could grow
But, that’s one life lesson
I’m beginning to know.

Sure, there are those times
When, it’s nice to be alone
But, that emptiness of the heart
I’ve let mature, has truly grown.

I don’t have any friends
At least, there’s none nearby
Though I try in vain, for more
I never know, quite why?

I have people that I love
And, who I know love me
But, we are so far apart
That, sharing, not to be!

Abe, so many can relate to your poem, I'm sure.
There are so many reasons we can be alone...
too numerous to mention.

But for some reason, you never seem to be
entirely alone, here at PiP.

I can imagine that it would be rather lonely when family and friends live far away from you.

I could really sense the loneliness in your words.

Giving you a warm, hug,
Linda

Hello Abe, it's really convincing, we need both loneliness and relationships for the worst and the best....

thank you for sharing your beautiful poem.

Abe,

This is a sad poem. It made me think how it must be for those people that can't hear, or see. That must be very lonley.
